How to Make a Living Doing Pencil Portraits
Pencil portraits are commonly purchased at fairs, carnivals and
even farmers markets.
These portraits range from true-to-life to cute
and cartoonish, but they all earn money for the artists that draw
them.
If you are a talented pencil portrait artist, you can make a
living from your craft with just a bit of research and preparation.
• Decide what type of pencil portraits you want to specialize in.
You can choose to draw
lifelike or caricature portraits.
• Master the art of doing quick sketches by seeing how long it takes to draw pictures of
family, friends and stationary objects.
Try to get to the point where you can sketch a
picture in four to five minutes.
Customers will want their pictures sketched quickly, and
you ll make more money the less time you have to spend drawing each portrait.
